Croix Estate “1904”, Zinfandel, Russian River Valley, California, 2017

“A finished barrel sample to be bottled in early March, the 2017 Zinfandel Estate 1904 is very deep purple-black in color, and the nose opens with warm blue fruit preserves, blackberry pie and crème de cassis with dried herbs and savory notes in the background plus a peachy hint. Full-bodied with powerful black and blue fruits and sweet spices in the mouth, it’s firmly textured with a long, sweet fruit finish.”-(91-93)WA
